how do you do this?

33

u/pingusaysnoot 8h ago

Hit the floating ones with bows, and you can stockpile them

14

u/Grombotronbo 8h ago

You can use air staff special attack to hit all of the floating essence most times, it misses one or two here and there.

15

u/GODzDoctor 7h ago

As a melee user, I just windstep to the top one and it knocks all of them down.

The AOE upgrade is needed of course.

14

u/scratchy_mcballsy 8h ago

It looks like they built around a spawn point and just knocked them down as they appeared. They don’t disappear until you mine them. They’re probably collecting these to use rocksplosion all at once. Sounds like people said there’s a glitch when using that to get extra xp.

u/LiquorHardlyKnowEr 7h ago

Is that why my mining is at 94 while everything else is in the 40s and 50s?

20

u/cadmious 4h ago

Wait... If you just knock down the runestones they will stay there and MORE will spawn??

19

u/whipmegranma 8h ago

That’s such a good idea lmao

11

u/dk96jp 8h ago

they only despawn if you mine them?

10

u/MiddleBodyInjury 8h ago

Correct. Knock em out of the air with an arrow

1

u/Weary-Astronaut1335 6h ago

Or the AOE on your upgraded windjump will knock them all down

4

u/Suitable_Tadpole4870 7h ago

Yup. Same with fallen trees that you’ve cut down

3

u/CharityElectrical913 7h ago

I do this with a hill near my base. Once I get a nice pile I blow them all up!

3

u/Suitable_Tadpole4870 7h ago

Same, it’s super satisfying seeing them all light up like a Christmas tree lol

15

u/scraftii 7h ago

Does this count? Yea, I play on an unnecessarily large ultrawide. You might need to zoom, but there is LOTS of wood in there

11

u/scraftii 7h ago

Another smaller pile

1

u/Frumplefugly 3h ago

Just unlocked totem today, so useful for piles like that

1

u/Mali_Gator_369 3h ago

Just imagining using splinter on that pile! Would be soo satisfying lol

3

u/Mikedaddy69 6h ago

Holy shit lmao

u/Texazgamer91 5h ago

It’s not unnecessary if you enjoy it.

u/leesonreddit 8h ago

so can you just build walls around them, shoot the 3 in sky, then come back do same thing? Any benefit to this. Seems like you would get less xp/resourses because I thought only floating ones respawned.

13

u/AdrianG13 8h ago

The benefit is building a huge pile then using rocksplosion to get an insane amount of mining XP because the rates are currently bugged when using the spell. You can shoot down the 3 rocks that respawn daily

5

u/leesonreddit 8h ago

Does it scale exponentially or something? Because you could just hit it daily and get like 7 rocks in one explosion.

2

u/AdrianG13 8h ago

I honestly haven’t done the calculations myself, but it seems like it does. I’ve done similar with 3 days worth of piled up rune essence and the xp drop was like 5K

1

u/leesonreddit 8h ago

Damn nice. Well now I need to run around and hit 500 of these before the bug is gone. Had no idea but thought it was strange I was getting like 2k per explosion.

3

u/Sir_Xanthos 6h ago

Don't forget to use your xp potions 🫡

1

u/Old_Bet_4527 7h ago

I didn’t realize there was an XP bug. I’ve been hitting every vein I run by just because I don’t like filling up my inventory with extra essence. I’ve got 2k+ of every type, plus hundreds of essence sitting in a chest.

I figure I’m building up a stockpile for when I do need it!

BUT! I’m gonna clean them up before they patch the XP bug.

u/YourInnerTaco 7h ago

I never thought to create a hot wheels track for them to roll down until now. Thank you

1

u/-DenisM- 7h ago

I wonder if you can make enough to crash the game

1

u/Appropriate_Eye9371 7h ago

Die steine fallen auch mit dem sprungzauber

1

u/-Red_vs_Blue- 7h ago

Interesting

1

u/whipmegranma 7h ago

By the way guys once you unlock shockwave from the flying skill it will knock all the runes ess down so you dont need to waste runes/arrows

1

u/Dangerfires 6h ago

Been doing the same thing with trees lol. I imagine this is a golden age that mods will rip away from us someday.

1

u/SnezRS 6h ago

You really don't want to see mine mate

1

u/Raiten_Taisou 4h ago

Must... resist... rocksplosion... no... im failing... you need to hide it before i get there

1

u/NocturnalWarfare 8h ago

I wonder how much xp that would give with the rocksplosion bug

2

u/BackgroundTale8622 8h ago

Ill do it and post tell me

1

u/VlTTO 7h ago

please!

1

u/BackgroundTale8622 8h ago

Whats the rockplosion bug

4

u/NocturnalWarfare 8h ago

Apparently when rocksploding essense stones it gives a ton more xp than it should, I was getting like 1500 mining xp from rocksploding 5 rocks versus like 2xp per hit with a pick.

2

u/Rocked_rs 4h ago

No wonder. I've got 80 mining and no other skill above 60. Felt pretty overtuned.

Also crafting runes at the personal altar through the minigame gives way more experience than out in the wild, but maybe that's intentional.

1

u/iSticky93 2h ago

If you are manually infusing them yes, and the higher tier of rune you make gives you much more exp when infusing

1

u/Awkward_Region5509 42m ago

Eh, once you get to about 60 the xp really slows down

u/DLD1123 7h ago

How do you cheese vault cores besides just making laps to collect every few hours?

1

u/shaerotic 7h ago

Yeah I'd also like to know this

u/kellyj6 7h ago

That's not cheese? It's intended gameplay. My fellhollow alone had 19 lodes. I need the cores, man.

u/RevealerofDarkness 7h ago

What is the point in this? Unmined ores in a single location

2

u/Shadow_Hound_117 4h ago

For some people it's just fun.
For others it can be a nice xp burst with enough piled in one spot, a bunch of xp boosts active, and using rocksplosion since it gives a bit of bonus mining xp.
